Coming soon. Join the early list
Never wonder where to go this weekend again.
Turn saved restaurants, cafes, shops, parks, and hidden gems into weekend plans, date ideas, and short trips without opening dozens of map cards.
The problem
Your saved places are everywhere. Your plans are nowhere.
People are not short on places to go. The hard part is turning scattered saves into something that fits this weekend, tonight, or the city day you keep meaning to take.

Sound familiar?
50+ saved places. Zero actual plans.The solution
The planning layer between discovery and navigation.
Discovery apps help you find places. Google Maps helps you navigate. Kanoo helps you decide what to do with the places you already care about.
Discover
Browse places visually, like a feed built for real-world plans.
Save
Keep cafes, restaurants, shops, viewpoints, and hidden gems in one place.
Build
Choose saved places and generate a practical route for the day.
Adjust
Edit the order, timing, vibe, distance, and stops before you go.
Share
Send the plan to friends or save it for the next weekend.
Planner
The route editor is the moment saved places become a real plan.
The plan mockup shows the final day. The route editor shows why Kanoo is useful: you can shape the order, timing, and flow before handing off to Maps.
Drag and reorder stops
The route editor should make a plan feel editable, not locked into the first order you chose.
See time and distance together
Keep duration, distance, travel mode, and stop order visible while shaping the day.
Plan around practical details
Opening hours and stop timing make the plan feel doable before anyone starts navigating.
Built for real days
Built for the plans you actually make.
Not rare vacations. The weekends, dates, and spontaneous outings that make life better.

Interest check
Private beta first. Deeper planning next.
Kanoo is validating whether the planner is the strongest reason to sign up. The waitlist helps us learn what to build before we add heavier product layers.

Join while Kanoo is being shaped.
The first release is focused on frequent local plans: weekends, dates, food crawls, friend hangouts, and short trips.- Visual place feed

- Cross-app location import
- Opening-hour-aware planning
- Distance-aware stop order
- Shareable plans
- Maps handoff when it is time to go
Validation focus
Tell us what the planner is worth.
Kanoo is testing which validation signals matter most before adding heavier product layers.- Most valuable first use case
- Hardest part of planning today
- How many saved places people have
- Openness to Ads
Private Prototype
Join the private beta list.
I'll use early signups and feedback to decide which version of Kanoo to build first. Add your email - the questions below are optional but genuinely useful.
Kanoo is currently validating the first private release. Your signup helps decide whether this becomes a real product.
FAQ
Common questions.
When will Kanoo be available?
Kanoo is a working private prototype right now. I'm building a waitlist to understand who the product is most useful for before doing a wider release.
Is this replacing Google Maps?
No. Google Maps is great for navigation. Kanoo fills the gap before you navigate: deciding which saved places to visit, in what order, on what day.
What is Kanoo actually best for?
Weekend plans, dates, food crawls, local exploring, city days with friends, and short trips where you already have places saved.
Does it actually sync with Google Maps?
The prototype shows a Maps handoff: you tap a stop and open Maps. Automatic syncing of saved Google Maps lists is something I'm exploring for later, but it is not in the prototype today.
Are the screens in the videos the final design?
No. Screens are early previews and may change. The flow - discover, save, build, adjust, hand off to Maps - is the real thing being tested.
Why join the beta list?
I'll use early signups and feedback to decide which version of Kanoo to build first. If you have the saved-place problem, joining helps shape the planner around real behavior.
